It’s one thing to buy into a tournament and find yourself seated next to a WSOP bracelet winner or to walk the hallways of the Rio Convention Center in June and catch a glimpse of Annie Duke or Layne Flack as they head back to the tables after dinner break. It’s another thing entirely to get the opportunity to not only soak up their online poker betting knowledge, but to play against them in a cash game and then knock back a cocktail afterwards. Now add in over two dozen of the greatest professional athletes to walk the earth, give them a few racks of chips, throw in a golf tournament, a televised no-limit hold’em tournament, and set the whole shebang in the Bahamas in September. Is that something you’d be interested in?
Twenty-five top poker pros including Annie Duke, Johnny Chan, Layne Flack, Gavin Smith, Men “The Master” Nguyen, Cyndy Violette, Kenna James, Antonio Esfandiari, Jamie Gold, and Mike Sexton are scheduled to attend along with NFL betting greats Troy Aikman, Emmit Smith, and Hershel Walker, Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, skateboarding guru Tony Hawk, and golf master Rocco Mediate.
You might actually learn something
Have you always wanted to go to one of those poker training camps but it all seemed a bit… academic? During the first three days of the Sports Legends Challenge, poker pros will be offering training sessions several times a day for all SLC participants.

Poker Bets Online-Sarah Palin a good poker player?
Last week, right before Sarah Palin stepped down as governor of Alaska, her father Heath told Politco’s Jonathan Martin that the 2008 Vice Presidential Nominee would “be a good poker player. She never divulged what she’s going to do next."
But would Palin actually be a good poker player? Here are five reasons Palin would make an excellent poker Bets Online player.
Opponents may have low expectations
When Palin faced now Vice President Joe Biden in the only Vice Presidential debate of 2008, expectations were so low that Palin just had to have a pulse to be considered a success.
In poker, you can take advantage of your opponents if you know they have low expectations. If they think you’re a loose, passive player, you can set them up with a big check raise. Palin is perceptive enough to know what people think of her to take advantage of those low expectations.
